The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) is accelerating the installation of 148,000 smart meters for residential, business, and industrial customers in its service areas, including Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Samut Prakan. This initiative aligns with the Ministry of Interior's "Action 5 PLUS" policy, aiming to upgrade digital infrastructure.

The deployment of smart meters is crucial for enabling real-time electricity monitoring, automatic fault detection, and enhanced electrical safety. This contributes to the government's Smart City development goals and promotes energy efficiency for consumers.
